The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Creation vs Evolution

"Evolutionary characteristics" in itself is a term which needs definition before I, e.g., as a firm biblical Creationist would affirm is agreeable. However, even if it is verifiable that there has been some mutation (evolution) within species, this is hardly any proof or even hint that Evolution is even plausible.

No Creationist would agree to such statements for is a denial of the existence of THE true Living God or at best promotes Agnosticism.

This is irrelevant.... but I might add that no human is capable of "developing" knowledge, for all knowledge comes from God. Secondly, humans who have been received salvific grace are not only capable of seeking truth but also of knowing truth with certainty, for all truth comes from God (Jh 14:6) and is found in His inspired, inerrant and infallible Word (Jh 17:17; 8:31, 32).

By "evolving faith", I am going to assume here that you are intending to say that "faith" refers to a repository of truth rather than one's adherence to a body of truth. Unfortunately, Christianity holds to absolute truth or as it is sometimes called propositional truth or true truth, which does not "evolve". Admittedly, there are those who profess Christianity but either seriously err in some of their views or are incapable of embracing truth being yet unregenerate and thus what they profess to believe will always be in a state of flux (2Tim 3:7; Prov 14:6)

It can be granted that no human being will ever attain full knowledge of all things, for that is an attribute of deity; Omniscience. And thus, the search for truth is life-long. However, the crux of the matter is not in the seeking but rather in the antithesis between Christianity and all other "theories" of Origins in regard to the source. The epistemology of Christianity and all other theories, systems, religions, etc., differ dramatically and are totally incompatible. Christianity does not permit nor can it be changed into some philosophical colloidal suspension with non-Christian thought.

The matter is actually so simple.. God's inspired, inerrant and infallible written Word, the Bible, says that the Almighty Creator God created all things in the span of 6 24-hour days. In the brief account that He has revealed about how He created the various elements there is no room for evolutionary thought nor any other kind of "theory". It's one of those "all or nothing" propositions; believe God or believe something else:

Romans 1:18-25 (ASV) "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves: for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."

In His grace,
